Modern wedding and portrait photography on the West Coast and Portland area
The other day I was talking to a coworker about her upcoming wedding that she’s been planning for almost a year. “I still have 4 months left and now it feels like I’m just waiting around!” she exclaimed and then sighed. Now, I’m all for taking as long as you need for an engagement (my husband and I were engaged about 8 months before our wedding) but I love it… Keep Reading
I’m so excited to share a sneak peek at this NE Portland wedding! You know the wedding is going to be amazing when the engagement photos were an adventure that included sliding down coastal sand cliffs, walking barefoot on boulders to get close to crashing ocean waves and so much laughter and smiles you feel like you’ve known the couple for ages. Enter Alicia and Anthony, the sweetest couple who… Keep Reading
They say a little rain is good luck on your wedding day, and photographers say overcast skies are perfect for photos, so this sweet couple had the perfect combination when they got married a few weeks ago at the Dundee Lodge in Gaston! I’ve so enjoyed getting to know Justin and Lorisa, an adventurous couple who met while playing cards with friends 7 years ago! They are madly in love… Keep Reading
This week is a BIG week!! Not only do I officially have a ONE year old tomorrow, but I also celebrate the birthday of another baby of mine: my business! Yes folks, it was FIVE years ago this week when I got my official business license and became established as Erin Elizabeth Photography! Excuse me while I go stuff my face full of cake. I’m so proud of how my… Keep Reading
I made it a goal to blog more this year (which I also think was my goal last year!) so with the year rapidly speeding to an end, I’m actually going to blog a wedding, specifically April and Sam’s wedding on 8-18-18! It was a perfect day for this pair who met in Santa Barbara and made their journey together to Oregon. The weather was warm, the sun was bright… Keep Reading
It occured to me that summer is in FULL FORCE which means September will be here before we know it!! For most of us, that’s a sad realization, but for Justin and Lorisa, that just means we’re on the countdown for their wedding day! This couple thrives in the outdoors, so they know some amazing locations which makes this photographer very happy! They suggested Horning’s Hideout for their engagement photos… Keep Reading
“Anyone can prove you existed at one time. That’s what these are for (holds up a phone) It’s our JOB to capture emotion.” Anni Graham, said recently at the Let’s Go Workshop I attended last week in Pacific City. I’m a believer in education in any field, especially one like photographer where it’s like a black hole for how much there is to learn. This industry can take a toll… Keep Reading
Seeing as it’s almost 2018, I figure it’s time to share some of my favorites from 2017! I’d love to blame it on life with a newborn, but let’s be honest, this is par for the course every year! I’ve had so many wonderful family photography sessions this year and I get caught up in posting just a quick few on social media that I don’t blog each session as… Keep Reading
I’ve been wanting to share this magical GORGE-ous maternity session for some time now, so what better way to start off 2017 than with this Wahclella Falls maternity session from this past fall? Megan and Todd are nature lovers and wanted a maternity session that reflected their love for the outdoors. I’ve been dying to shoot in the Columbia River Gorge for some time now, so we picked Halloween and… Keep Reading
“To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.” – David Viscott I love weddings. NO. I love love LOVE weddings. It never fails that I shed tears at every wedding I go to. Now that I get to be the photogrpaher at some of them, it never fails that I come home exhausted but elated, telling myself “THIS is why I love shooting weddings!” as I… Keep Reading
October was sure a busy month for me! It was not only great weather, but that perfect time for the Northwest fall to shine. The leaves were unreal and the beautiful afternoon light made for such great photo sessions! I had a great time seeing photographing the proud parents to be back in January, and now the TWINS are already over 6 months. Time certainly flies, especially when there are… Keep Reading
I’m not sure how 2014 is just days away from us, but if I have a hard time believing that, then Julie and Jason are probably even more in shock! It’s been a busy year for these two, as just about a year ago, I was taking their engagement photos in the wine country. A few months ago, I was honored to take maternity photos for Julie and her hubby… Keep Reading
